Opinions of Senator Henderson.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator Henderson.
of Nebraska, a member of the military commit
tee, asked tonight what he thought of the
order. He replied that the President has. in his
opinion, absolutely authority to take such
action. AS he understands it, the flags are in
the nature of contraband of war, and are the
property of the United States; the President has
more authority over them than he has over
the funds in the Treasury received from the sale
of captured cotton. He might with equal right
order repayment to the States OF moneys re-
ceived from this source at would be a par
alel case" continued the Senator, If "a burglar
captured in the commission of crime with
his tools in his possession; he is convicted and
pardoned. and then his tools are returned to
him. / have no bitter feelings toward the men
who fought on the Southern side, but / am
posed to this action, because | think il unjust to
the men who fought to maintain the Union"
Other Union men equally forcible in the
expressions of their opinions, and it is possible
that the feeling may develop into legal proceed
ings restrain the President from carrying out
his design.

Cleveland is not, he would certainly
return to Albany from Washington, in
stead Of going to New York. AS a
Cabinet Minister Manning has been
very popular; has had added many

last past. If the convention which will
nominate the next President was to be

hence, Manning could be nominated
and elected. If he goes into Wall

nomination for President, but he will
not want it. Manning is too good
politician to suppose that Wall street
banker could be nominated and elected
President of the United STATES. Not
that such a man is worse than other
men merely because he is a banker,
but because popular prejudice could be
too readily appealed to, and with effect,
against such candidate. 1t is safe to
say that Manning is not Presidential

many reasons are assigned for his re-

reason is the one that has been given
the most publicity ambitions to
enter the banking business in New York

any disagreements with the President.
There is every reason to believe that
his personal. political and official re-

amicable and quite harmonious since
he has been a Cabinet officer. That
he resigned to engage in more active
politics, to secure for himself, if posi-

SETTING HENS.

Timely Suggestions ON the Proper Prep.
aration of Nests, Etc.
Nests for setting hens are best on the
ground, but where this is not feasible
put some clean, moist soil in the bot
tom Of the nests. A good plan is to
cut sod of suitable size, turn it over
in your box and pack so as to be of a
concave shape in the center; then cover
the earth with straw broken short. In
very cold weather mix good proper
ton of feathers in the nest-lining-
chicken feathers may be saved for this
purpose-and put spoonful of sui
phur in when the hen is set. The heat
of the fowls causes the fumes to pene-
trate every part of their bodies, thereby
killing all vermin and leaving the
brood clean and healthy. Never set
eggs laid near the close of the season
when the hens have been very prolific.
as they will produce weakly chicks lia-
bic to disease and early death. In ar
ranging nests remember that the nature
Of the fowls is to hide their nests under
a brush heap or some out of the way
place, and humor this habit by provid-
ing nests so sheltered or hidden that
they seem to offer seclusion and quiet.
Set fresh, fertile eggs, and you will
have fine, vigorous chicks if the hen
does her duty. Sprinkle the eggs with
tepid water every few days when the hen
leaves for food and rest; this is the Sc
cret of stolen nests turning out almost
every egg. The hen leaves the nest
early in the morning, vets herself with
dew or water, and at her return shakes
her wet feathers over her eggs. Many
young chicks are lost at Matching time
because the little things cxpend all their
strength in trying to get out Of the
tough lining of the shell, and die of ex-
haustion. So don't neglect to give a
thorough wetting the last day before
Matching, and do not apply any sulphur
the last week of incubation. In sum-
mer provide for ample ventilation and
also for GOODNESS around the nesting
places. 1griculturist.

Proper Governmental Functions.

Mr.. Cleveland never omits an oppor-
tunity to enforce the doctrin ethat the
Government should not support the
people. In vetoing the bill for a pub
lie building Il Portsmouth, O., he cites
the claim of the promoter of the meas
ure that there is not Federal public
building in the State of Ohio east of a
line.drawn on the map from Cleveland
through Columbus to Cincinnati, and
that .'when wealth and population
and the needs Of the public service
are considered, the distribution of
public buildings in the State is an UNI
fair one The President condemns
this theory of expenditure for public
buildings as untenable, pointing out
that if an application for the erection
Of such building is to be determined
by the distance between its proposed
location and another public building,
or upon the allegation that a certain
division of State is without Gov
eminent building, or that the distri-
button Of these buildings in particular
State is unfair, we shall rapidly be led
to an entire disregard Of the consider
ations of necessity and public need,
which it seems to him should alone
justify the expenditure of public funds
for such a purpose. ''The care and
protection which The Government
owes to the people, he adds, edo
not embrace the grant of public
buildings to decorate thriving and pros
porous cities and villages, nor should
such buildings be erected upon any
principle of fair distribution among To-
calities. The Government is not an
almoner of gifts among the people, but
an instrumentality by which the peo-
pies affairs should be conducted upon
business principles, regulated by the
public needs" Applying these princi-
pies to the case under consideration,
the President concludes that "as a
business proposition the building pro-
posed should not be undertaken, and
therefore refuses to sign the bill, which
kills it. The saving Of money to the
treasury by the various public building
bills which the President has vetoed
must be considerable, but the financial
saving is unimportant in comparison
with the lesson which he has thus
taught in the proper relations Of the
Federal Government to the people.

A REASON FOR REsIGN,NG.
Mr.. Sherman vacates "Flgure-Head y
Office to Give His Attention to a Weak
Presidential UROOm.0

MT. Sherman vacates "Flgure-Head
Office to Give His Attention to q Weak
Presidential "Boom."
The reason, charitably or unchar-
itably assigned, for the resignation of
John Sherman from the respectable,
solemn and somnolent post of tempo
rary President of the Senate is that he
means to give boost to his boom for
another Presidency, the salary Of which
is greater by forty-two thousand dollars
year. Honest John has never been
known to give something for nothing,
and his ambition is checked only by his
thrift If he voluntarily resigns three
thousand dollars a year, it is perfectly
natural to suppose that he knows what
he is about; and he may be right in
supposing that he will advertise him
self in larger letters by coming down
from that dais of boredom on which
the President of the Senate sits with no
Rpwer to claim the right of sanctuary
in the cloak-room, though assailed by
many moldy metaphors and drenched
with the chilly stream of Senatorial
eloquence.
The Pinkstonian statesman is per-
haps right in resigning. He might
come to be a mere wooden man, an
animated gavel, breakwater to the
storms of oratory, Il human sounding
board. He has rescued himself, but
what of his boom? We say it in no
spirit of unkindness, but that boom is
ancient and castanean, and hardly
worth digging up. Ohio yenerates
John, and certain Ohio politicians are
anxious to make him President so as to
get him out of the Senate; but are Re-
publican Buckeyes capable of political
good faith? The grizzled old financier
of Mansfield has good cause to doubt it.
He knows them, and they know it.
They filched from him the nomination
for President. Then they almost kept
him out of the Senate, to which he has
the pretensions of life member. The
usual Ohio Republican politician is a
clear case Of viper.
shaky at home, what prop has Mr..
Sherman elsewhere? The confidence
of the conservative and business in
terestspn If so, he is a dead man po-
litically; for these seem to be fatal to a
candidate. The truth is that Mr.. Sher-
man, however valuable for his associa-
tions, is not popular man; and he is
less likely than Allison, for instance, to
succeed Mr.. Blaine if that gentleman
should not care to try his luck again. =

Une of the Most Romantic Chapters Il
tho Story of Modern Progress.


tho Story of Modern Progress.
The poets of Asia have sung for cen.
turtles of the beauty and fruitfulness OF
the Zarafchan valley. The fact that
the environs of Samarcand, Bokhara
and Khiva are among the most fertile
in the world has counted for little in
their development, for almost painless
deserts separate them from the lands
that would gladly buy their produce.
Steam cars, however, have come at
last to supersede the costly camel cara
vans that, since the Gar overpowered
the Kanates, have often been sent to
the Russian frontier.
When it was announced short time
ago that the s-Caspian railroad
had reached the Amu-Daria at Chard-
Jul, the telegraph from Khiva and Box
hara at once reported that number OF
caravans were loading with silks, leath-
er, furs, carpets and wool, which they
would take to Chardjui en- route for
Europe. Mr.. Lansdell told us two years
ago that Central Asian cotton was OF
fine quality and could be raised in
enormous quantities. 1t now appears
that as soon as it was positively known
that the railroad would be advanced to
the ANU Daria, the planting Of cotton
in .Bokhara was very sensibly augment
ed. Thus the pulse-beats of Western
commerce are beginning to be felt in
the remoter regions of the Moham-
medan world, revivifying countries
long dormant that in the age of Alex
ander the Great were the seat of an adj
vanced and powerful civilization.
The ruins still exist Of those great
canals that centuries ago led the waters
of the Murghab throughout the Merry
oasis, fertilizing the soil and fitting it
to be the abiding place of large and
fourishing population. Since the rail-
road reached Merv the .Turkomans
there have begun the work of cleaning
out and restoring these old works of
irrigation, and the day is rapidly COM
ing when ancient Merv will lose the
sad and arid aspect that now predom-
mates in all its borders. The railroad
that General Annenkoff pushed forward
through pillows of sand and treeless
desert will be the means of restoring to
Merv the yerdure and fertility she once
possessed.
The history of this railroad enter
prise, which is kindling the spirit of
the western world amid the ruins of a
dead civilization of the far East, is
destined to make one of the most inter-
esting and romantic chapters in the
story Of modern progress. M 7. Sun.
